Born and raised in London, producer Jonas Blue has so far taken the music industry by storm, implementing his musical cues in all of his undertakings. From pop to classic dance music, as well as delving into elements of tropical house – its clear to see that he has cleverly crafted a sound which fills the void that so many are craving from the UK music scene.
His debut release ‘Fast Car’ features the incredible young vocal talent, Dakota. The song itself came about when he had the idea to recreate one of his mother’s favourite songs that he remembered hearing on repeat as a child. Crafting the music came naturally to him but the difficult part was finding a voice who had the richness and depth that made the original so special – of which Dakota certainly brought to the forefront of the record.
With the record itself already a certified global smash and having spent time collaborating in studios in L.A, Stockholm and London – Jonas Blue is fully equipped and ready to launch himself into a lifelong career in music.
As the single and official video continue to amass millions of streams, its proof that ‘Fast Car’ will continue to trickle into the subconscious of music fans worldwide. With success that spans across iTunes charts in 53 countries including #1 in the UK, Germany, Sweden, Australia and New Zealand, as well as reaching the #1 spot on the US viral chart on Spotify – its clear to see why the record has gained platinum status in Australia & gold in Sweden.
With that said and done, 2016 will continue to strive for the London based producer who has already proven his worth in such a short period of time and across such a global scale.
